Deep Research

Conduct comprehensive, citation-backed web research through a systematic multi-phase pipeline. Deliver structured reports with verified sources, cross-referenced findings, and quality-gated output.

When to Activate

• Research requests: "research X", "deep dive into Y", "investigate Z", "what's the current state of X"
• Comparison/analysis: "compare X and Y", "X vs Y", "competitive analysis of X"
• Due diligence: company research, technology evaluation, market sizing
• Pre-content research: before creating presentations, articles, or designs requiring factual data
• Current events: "what's happening with X", "latest news on Y"

When Not To Use

• Quick factual lookups: a short answer, one-off fact check, or lightweight browse-and-answer task
• General coding work: implementation, debugging, refactoring, or code review where research is not the main deliverable
• Routine content creation: drafting slides, articles, or designs unless the user explicitly asks for research or source verification first
• Narrow latest-status requests: a brief "what changed" or "what's the latest" answer that does not justify a full research pipeline
